Deep Longevity, in collaboration with US and Chinese scientists, measured the effects of loneliness, restless sleep and sadness on the rate of aging and found that they were significant. The accumulation of molecular damage accelerates the vulnerabilities and major diseases associated with aging. Some people have a higher intensity than others in the molecular processes that lead them to age faster.
Fortunately, using the digital model of Ageing, an increased rate of aging can be detected before the disastrous consequences of aging appear. These models can also be used to develop anti-aging therapies for individuals and populations.
According to the most recent article published in Aging-US, any anti-aging therapy should address both one’s mental and physical health.
The article mentions the first aging clock to be trained entirely on a large Chinese group and describes a new aging clock that was trained and tested using blood and biometric data from 11,914 Chinese adults. was approved.
People with a history of stroke, liver and lung disease, smokers, and most interestingly, those with a debilitating mental state are experiencing comparatively faster aging. It has also been observed that feeling hopeless, sad and lonely increases the biological age of a person more than smoking.
Being unmarried and living in rural areas without adequate medical facilities and other reasons for rapid ageing.
“Mental and psychosocial status are some of the strongest predictors of health outcomes and quality of life, yet they have been largely superseded by modern healthcare,” said Manuel Faria of Stanford University.
Alex Zhavoronkov, CEO of Insilico Medicine, explained that the study provides a course of action to “slow or reverse psychological aging at a national level.”
Deep Longevity also launched an AI-guided mental health web service – FutureSelf.AI, which builds on a previous publication in Aging-US. The service provides a free psychological assessment that is processed by artificial intelligence and results in the users’ current and future mental well-being as well as their psychologist age.
“FutureSelf.AI, in conjunction with studies of older Chinese adults, puts DeepLongevity at the forefront of biogerontological research,” said DeepLongvity CEO Dipankar Nayak.
